There's nothing in that that's any solid evidence of him being a 'Neo nazi' or anti-immigrant. It says his family says he was non-religious.

He apparently collected info on all sorts of school shootings, not just the Breivik case.

It's funny to me how you're so quick to jump in and say a guy axing people while yelling "Allahu Ackbar!" with proven ties to ISIS ISN'T an Islamic terrorist- but a guy who's according to his own family non-religious and collected documents about all manner of school shootings is for certain "A Christian, anti-immigrant Neo-Nazi."

You'll notice NO legit news source is jumping to any such conclusion, there's simply no evidence in this case of any motive other than revenge for being bullied.

Having said that... some reporting does follow a trend. But I urge caution until they release the ID of the killer. Crazies like to play games. A connection must be firmly established first.

The final verdict could not be any clearer.

There is no connection to outside groups and every indication is of mental illness. His family may have an ethnic background, that does not make them terrorists. But as humans, some among us fall victim to nightmares and are overcome with hatred.

  • He grew up in a secular household
  • He was not religious
  • Police said that he had been in psychiatric care
  • He may have been bullied by his peers
  • A former classmate recalled, "We always mobbed him in school..."
  • Sonboly had an obsession with mass shooters

The Party he admired is anti immigrant

Ok he just idolized Breivik and mass murder. What is the proper term if not Neo Nazi for people like Breivik and followers of his ideology?
Germany has suffered a lot of Neo Nazi terrorist attacks,

His family say he converted to Christianity but wasn't religious. As in he probably didn't go to Church every week

Can you show me where I said the axe guy wasn't an Islamic terrorist

Did you know Christians in Muslim countries say Allahu Ackbar and it's not just a Islamic terrorist thing

I don't think Christianity or Islam has anything to do with what this kid did

All that I posted was reported by legit news sites, I don't think any of them were American, am I right? ;)


I'm certainly not making any call on the guys motives, I'm not an idiot and figure I have all the facts long before they are out

Provide a link to anywhere but Wiki saying definitively he converted. Wiki says "possible". That isn't conversion, that sounds like damage control.

Wiki don't say that right? It links to a news article
If your problem is the Christian part, leave that out
What do you think about him following a similar ideology to yours and that it happened in just one generation
Should we do more to make sure that kids like this don't fall victim to dangerous ideologies like yours
Should we make sure other kids don't?

As much as I would like to blame this on the killer's Christianity, this is an obviously a nerd loser mass shooting. I believe we should start identifying nerd losers and think about kicking them out of our country. Unfortunately I happen to be within flirting distance of that demographic so I myself may be at risk..... I wonder if that is LK's demographic as well?
